Zr - Zirconium Properties | Isotopes | Compounds Zirconium is a flamable metal and is not found as a metalic ore in nature. The metal has a unique property of being transparant to neutrons. Combined with it's high strength and corrosion resistance, hafnium free zirconium ideal for the nuclear power industry for use in reactor support structures and fuel rods to hold the fuel pellets as it does not impede the reaction. Zirconium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth working in Berlin and the pure metal obtained by Berzelius in 1824 in Stockholm.
